Not until my company rented an apartment around the mid-area of CMT8... that's when I realised how affordable it can be in HCMC
A cup of caphe sua 3k
A plate of rice with 2 vege+1meat 15-20k
Last year I started to learn their language and it really make things easier in terms of communication
In terms of clubbing, I have yet to come in contact with the local vietnamese KTV but I read a lot from SBF that it is very very different.

We of course can overlook that overcharging in relative to Spore prices but being long term there just becomes too irritating after knowing the local price.
Now i always ask price n if quoted high price, i will walk away n find another or go to one that have price list. Plenty around.
But for mongering , different story as a disadvantaged foreigner n not much good value options.
I went to a cafe om, got a bj n was overcharged unknowingly (no change returned) cause it was cheap so did not bother n the service was good. I returned few times n the same girl, she started returning change (few S$) maybe worry that i find out n lose a regular customer. i still go back nowadays n serviced better w a 5-10 min massage added.
Another tactic is upselling by them. The girl will provide a 50%hj 50%bj then when i indicated more bj as i could not finish, she wanted more money( few S$ more) . Of course small head agreed n got a sextifying cim. I still return as it was worth paying that little extra for a good 100% bbbj w cim.
Another bbbj experience is i added 20% tips(knowing the local price) cause she was à pretty syt n gave good 100%bbbj w cim n a definitely return for me.
And all these done w my half past six Vietnamese n sign language outside D1.
Also alot of these girls don't stay permanently in the shop cause usually i could not find them or the shop (closed) after a few months so i will visit more when i found good providers before they are gone.
Before someone come in n stir trouble, i don't need any contacts. I don't need people tell me how i use my own money.
